PHILADELPHIA – Redshirt senior John Barone and senior Trey Wren were named to the 2019 Division I PING all-Northeast Region team. The teams from the six regions were selected by the Golf Coaches Association of America.
It marks Temple's first PING all-region honorees since Brandon Matthews in 2016 and is believed to be the first Owl pair to earn all-region since Gary Deetscreek and Mike Brown in 1983.
Wren capped his incredible career with a 72.09 stroke average which ranks third on the Owls' single season list. Seven of his 32 rounds were in the 60s, including a school record five straight from Oct. 8-16. The Suffolk, Va. native placed in the Top 10 in six of the team's 12 tournaments, including four in the Top 5. His best finish was tying for second at the Elon Phoenix Invitational with a nine-under 204. That performance tied 54-hole school marks for lowest score and lowest under-par tournament.
Barone was not far behind his teammate, posting a 72.44 stroke average to rank fifth on Temple's single season list. He shot a team-high nine rounds in the 60s, the most since Matthews posted a school-record 13 rounds in the 2014-15 season. The Dunmore, Pa. native tied for first at the City 6 Championship and tied for second at the Bucknell Invitational with a school-record low score (134, -6) for a 36-hole tournament. He also shot a career-best 65 at the Elon Phoenix Invitational with the round tying for the third lowest in school history.
